From Sea-Coast Woe to Pasture Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the sea coast and its Cherethite inhabitants symbolize a fixed outer state of consciousness—habits, fears, and identifications that keep you at the edge of your awareness. When the word of the LORD is against that state, you experience a disruption in the old pattern: a clearing of the mental coastline, so what once held you in bondage can be dissolved. The destruction is not punishment but the release of energy from every conclusion that keeps your awareness tethered to lack. And when the coast becomes the dwelling place for shepherds and flocks, you are being told that your inner landscape is opening into a pastoral quiet: your mind is becoming a field tended by the inner shepherd—the I AM—where thoughts are fed and guided rather than driven. The phrase "I will destroy thee" becomes the inner revision: you withdraw belief from the old shore and allow your present awareness to settle into a new arrangement of life. Trust that this shift is already yours in consciousness, here and now, as you imagine and feel it real.
